You know that frustrating morning glare on your computer screen. The neighbors who can see straight into your living room. The energy bills that spike every summer because your windows let in too much heat.
Quality window treatments solve these daily annoyances while transforming your space. You’ll wake up to gentle, filtered light instead of harsh glare. Your family gets complete privacy without sacrificing natural light. And those energy bills? They drop significantly when your windows actually work to keep your home comfortable year-round.
The right custom blinds, shades, or coverings don’t just hang there—they actively improve how you live in your space every single day.
We’ve served Long Island homeowners since 1986, and we understand what works in Islip homes. Your coastal location means dealing with humidity, salt air, and intense summer sun—challenges that require the right window treatment materials and installation techniques.
Our team knows which fabrics hold up to Long Island’s climate and which motorized systems work reliably in your environment. We’ve helped hundreds of Islip families solve their window challenges, from beachfront properties dealing with constant sun exposure to inland homes needing better insulation during harsh winters.
When you work with us, you’re getting decades of local experience, not generic solutions from a big box store.
We start with a free in-home consultation where our design expert visits your Islip home to understand your specific needs. No guessing about measurements or trying to imagine how samples look in your actual lighting—we bring everything to you.
During the consultation, we’ll assess each window’s unique requirements, discuss your lifestyle needs, and show you material samples that work with your décor. We handle all the precise measuring, ensuring your custom window treatments fit perfectly the first time.
Once you approve the design and materials, we order your custom treatments and schedule professional installation. Our certified installers arrive on time, install everything with precision, and clean up completely before leaving. You’re left with beautiful, functional window treatments that work exactly as intended.

Our custom window treatments include everything from energy-efficient cellular shades to elegant plantation shutters, motorized blinds, and designer drapery. Each option addresses specific needs common in Islip homes—like managing intense afternoon sun in west-facing rooms or creating privacy without blocking your beautiful water views.
For Islip’s coastal environment, we recommend materials that resist fading, moisture, and salt air exposure. Our Hunter Douglas products come with industry-leading warranties and many qualify for federal energy tax credits, helping offset your investment while reducing long-term energy costs.
We also offer smart home integration, allowing you to control your window treatments remotely or program them to adjust automatically throughout the day. This is particularly valuable for Islip homeowners who travel frequently or want to simulate occupancy for security.
Islip’s coastal location requires window treatments that can handle humidity, salt air, and intense UV exposure. We recommend synthetic materials like polyester or specially treated natural fibers that resist fading and moisture damage.
Hunter Douglas cellular shades work exceptionally well here because they provide excellent insulation while resisting warping from humidity changes. For shutters, we use composite materials rather than real wood to prevent salt air damage. Motorized systems also benefit from sealed mechanisms that protect against moisture infiltration.
The key is choosing materials specifically designed for coastal environments, not just standard options that might fail within a few years of Long Island’s weather conditions.
Custom window treatment costs in Islip vary based on window size, material choice, and complexity of installation. Basic cellular shades typically start around $200-400 per window, while premium motorized treatments can range from $600-1200 per window.
However, many of our energy-efficient options qualify for federal tax credits up to $1,200, significantly offsetting your initial investment. We also offer financing options to make quality treatments more accessible. The key is viewing this as a long-term investment—quality custom treatments last 10-15 years while improving your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
During your free consultation, we’ll provide exact pricing based on your specific windows and needs, with no surprises or hidden costs.
Yes, we regularly install motorized window treatments in Islip’s older homes, including historic properties near the water. Modern motorized systems don’t require extensive electrical work—many operate on rechargeable batteries that last months between charges.
For homes without convenient electrical access, we offer battery-powered options that integrate seamlessly with existing décor. Solar-powered systems also work well for south-facing windows that receive consistent sunlight. Our installers are experienced in working around older home challenges like uneven window frames or limited wall space.
We’ll assess your specific situation during the consultation and recommend the best motorized solution that works with your home’s existing infrastructure while meeting your automation goals.
Installation time depends on the number of windows and complexity of treatments, but most Islip homes are completed in one day. Simple installations like cellular shades or standard blinds typically take 30-45 minutes per window.
More complex installations involving motorized systems, plantation shutters, or custom drapery hardware may require additional time. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always provide accurate time estimates upfront.
Our installers work efficiently while maintaining high quality standards. They protect your floors and furniture, clean up all debris, and test every treatment to ensure proper operation before leaving. You’ll have fully functional window treatments the same day we install them.
Absolutely. All our window treatments come with manufacturer warranties, and we back everything with our Beautiful Guarantee®—if you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll replace your treatments for free.
Hunter Douglas products include comprehensive warranties covering materials and mechanisms, with some motorized systems warranted for up to 5 years. Our installation work is also guaranteed, so if any issues arise from improper installation, we’ll return to correct them at no charge.
For Islip’s challenging coastal environment, we only work with manufacturers who stand behind their products long-term. This gives you peace of mind that your investment is protected against both defects and our area’s unique weather conditions.
Yes, properly selected window treatments can significantly reduce energy costs in Islip homes. Cellular shades with multiple air pockets provide excellent insulation, reducing heat transfer by up to 40% compared to bare windows.
During Islip’s hot summers, solar shades block harmful UV rays while maintaining views, reducing air conditioning costs. In winter, insulating treatments help retain heat, lowering heating bills. Many homeowners see 15-20% reductions in energy costs after installing quality window treatments.
The Department of Energy estimates that 25-30% of heating and cooling energy is lost through windows. Quality treatments address this directly while qualifying for federal tax credits. We’ll calculate potential energy savings during your consultation based on your home’s specific orientation and window exposure.
